*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
IT ****ING HAPPENED
OP UPDATE: Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

Both of those guys should have a lot more hardware on their mantle but THEY didn't get it done when it was on their racket. You compare that to Mahomes and yes, Montana, and the key drives and big plays they made when they HAD to get made. And tell me that stats make the difference. At that position stats tell, at most, about half the story. Hardware tells a lot. |

I'm not gonna argue he's a great dude or a good leader or any of those things.
Just at his peak he is the best pure thrower of the football I've ever seen, his ball placement was remarkable and it's a reason his TD/INT ratio is insane. I do think GB's front office ****ed him over a few times, they were very passive in helping him out for a long time. |

There are a TON of premier statistical QBs that couldn't come through when they needed that one drive or even that one play. Montana was simply never that guy. He made the plays he had to make. In Mahomes you have Rodgers talent with Montana's poise and processing. You have the baddest mother****er to ever do it and time will absolutely prove that. But that doesn't do anything to diminish the greatness of Montana. Let's not go full KCC here and start tearing down icons because we love the new hotness. Greatness is greatness and Montana is loaded with it. Our boy is simply better. And that says more about how spectacular Mahomes is than calling Montana a false idol ever will. |

Yeah Rodgers might be the most talented thrower of the football I’ve ever seen. The velocity on his passes with a flick of the wrist was something I’ve never seen any other QB do.

In an era with a salary cap and free agency, which can't be emphasized enough. |

No one was better until late-career Brady. You're docking him because he didn't have a Marino season? GTFO. Marino was another choker. Stats are for losers. |
